Preparing Bees for Winter.

Bees begin to make preparations for
winter somewhat earlier than is gener-
ally supposed. In preparing for winter,
as indeed in all other matters pertaining
to Bookkeeping, aparians ought to adopt
methods of management as nearly as
possible in agreement with the instincts
and habits of the bee. In a report re-
Gently issued by the Department of Agri-
culture on the observations and expert
ments made under the direction of the
entomologist, occur some notes of in
struction on this subject.
1t has been found a good practice to
widen the spaces between the comb
frames near the close of the honey-gath
ering season, in order that the bees may,
by elongating the cells, place a large
share of the winter stores above the
cluster. When bees build their own
combs after their own design, as in box
hives, spaces are left between wide
enough to admit of elongating the cells
in order that large share of the winter
stores may be placed in the top of the
hive, easily accessible in the severest
weather.
AS soon as the storing of surplus
colony should be examined, the amount
and character of the winter food ascer-
tanned, the number of comb frames, and
the size Of the apartment should be de-
termined by and adapted to the wants
! of each colony After the supply of
winter stores has been equalized among
all the colonies, if the supply is insult
ficlent, feeding should be done before
the advent of cold nights.
Bees expected to perform the function
of Information should not be too old, nor
| yet too young. Both queen and worker
bees ought to be in full physical vigor.
The bees constituting the colony, when
placed in winter quarters, should be such
as are Matched after the midsummer
working season is past and before the
bees cease flying freely in the fall.
Towards the close of the working sea-
son the workers instinctively cease slim
ulating the queen for reproduction;
gradually the bees cease flying and the
cluster is formed for the winter After
the cluster is formed the colony should
remain undlsturbed. If the bees are to
be packed in the summer stand the work
must be done with care and without d is
turbing the bees and before the temper
ature of night reaches the freezing
point If the bees are to be placed in a
clamp or in a cellar or winter repository,
great care should be taken not to dis
| turb the cluster when the hives are re
moved from the summer stand. Wooden
| quilts or wooden blankets are the best
| coverings for winter. Wool prevents
| the radiation of heat and permits the es-
| cape of moisture, thus securing warmth
| and dryness. Hives should be set
! eighteen inches above the bottom of the
cellar or winter repository, and in tier
ing them up one above another it is bet
ter that they rest on rack prepared for
the hive rather than one upon another

What it Costs to Raise n Boy

''My father never did anything for
me-" recently remarked a young man
who a few weeks ago finished his school
life, and is now seeking good business
opening. Judging by the words and the
complaining tone in which they were
uttered, the member of the firm who
heard them is prone to believe that the
young mans idea of doing something"
is an outright gift of thousand dollars
In lump, or the purchase of partner
ship in an established concern. This
young man, to the knowledge of the
writer, has never done one months ac-
tual work for others in his entire life.
His life has been passed in the pleasant
pastimes of the home circle, IN reading.
study, hunting, fishing, ball-playing.
yachting and other cmployments not par
ticularly beneficial to others. He is a
type of that class of boys whose parents
are sufficiently well-to-do to keep
servants to attend the household druid
in which no use can be made of the boys
spare hours. Like most boys of his class,
he looks upon his board and clothes for
twenty years, together with his pony,
jewelry, bicycle, etc, as matters of course.
The writer, while the complaining re-
mark was still ringing in his ears, had
the curiosity to make conservative
compilation of what it costs to raise an
ordinary boy for the first twenty years
of his life, and here it is:

And General Debility. Doctors disagree as to
the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and Hypo-
phOsphiCeS; the one supply ing strength and
flesh, the other giving nerve power, and acting
as a tonic to the digestive and entire system
But in SCOTS EMULSION of Cod Liver Oil with
Hypophosphites the two are combined, and the
effect is wonderful. Thousands who have de-
rived no permanent benefit from other prepa
rations have been cured by this. SCOTS Emui-
sion is perfectly palataDle and is easily digestel
by those who cannot tolerate plain Cod Liver
